The conceptions of learning he found most useful in his own detailed analysis of " classroom learning " came from cognitive anthropologists Jean Lave ( situated learning ) and Edwin Hutchins ( distributed cognition ).

His current work focuses on cognitive ethnography, computer-mediated communication, distributed cognition, human-computer interaction, information visualization, multiscale software, and tools for analysis of video data.

This means that situated cognition, distributed cognition, and social cognition all relate to the study of PIM.

Some of these new approaches, often influenced by phenomenological and post-modernist philosophy, include situated cognition, distributed cognition, dynamicism, embodied cognition.

( This view is shared by psychologists in the embodied psychology ( Lakoff and Johnson 1999 ) and distributed cognition traditions.

GTD relies on external memories, it can be seen as an application of the theories of distributed cognition or the extended mind.

Examples of applications include the modeling of organizational behaviour and cognition, team working, supply chain optimization and logistics, modeling of consumer behavior, including word of mouth, social network effects, distributed computing, workforce management, and portfolio management.

Collaborative tagging on the World Wide Web is one of the most recent developments in technological support for distributed cognition.

Learning certain habits or following certain traditions is seen as cognition distributed over a group of people.

Exploring distributed cognition through community and culture is one way to understand how it may work.

With the new research that is emerging in this field, the overarching concept of distributed cognition enhances the understanding of interactions between humans, machines and environments.

In this example, the parts of distributed cognition are seen in:

Another metaphor for distributed cognition would be a plane and the crew on it.

It is the cognition that is distributed over the personnel, sensors, and machinery both in the plane and on the ground, including but not limited to the pilots and crew as a whole.

Hutchins also examines another metaphor of distributed cognition within the context of navigating a US navy vessel.

Hutchins is one of the main developers of distributed cognition.

CITW provides a detailed study of distributed cognitive processes in a navy ship ( an Iwo Jima class amphibious assault ship ), and as with other works related to distributed cognition, criticizes disembodied views of cognition and proposes an alternative which looks at cognitive systems that may be composed of multiple agents and the material world.
